For each date and significant event he encountered, he wrote a description on a card and carefully filed them in chronological order. This chronology came to us in the form of over 50,000 note cards with dates spanning 10,000 BC to the 20th century. We have archived it here to share his work with other history enthusiasts and honor his lifelong dedication to learning.
